It's indispensable for making Amber, Chypre and Incense accords, a staple raw material in perfumery which can be used in countless contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Labdanum absolute is very carefully selected. We've sampled 10 different batches from different manufacturers to ensure we get the best quality possible product. We stock a \"light\" variety of Labdanum, which makes perfumes less dark than the more animalic \"dark\" variety of Labdanum. Our Labdanum has a unique honey top note unlike any of the others we trailed, which gives it a special glowing warmth and sweetness. It dries down into a leathery scent profile. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Fragrance Foundry","offers":[{"title":"5g","offer_id":54351757279617,"sku":null,"price":8.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10g","offer_id":41933450903737,"sku":"SKU-121","price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25g","offer_id":54351757312385,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":54351757345153,"sku":null,"price":47.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75g","offer_id":54351757377921,"sku":null,"price":63.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":44338034278585,"sku":null,"price":77.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/6888\/0181\/files\/labdanumcorrected_ee4b526c-70c7-4ee0-9ff6-59170736f8f5.png?v=1728577533"},{"product_id":"ethyl-vanillin","title":"Ethyl vanillin","description":"Similar to vanillin but sweeter, more powerful and closer to white chocolate.","brand":"The Fragrance Foundry","offers":[{"title":"10g","offer_id":43456542179513,"sku":"SKU-105","price":5.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25g","offer_id":54397838721409,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":54397838754177,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75g","offer_id":54397838786945,"sku":null,"price":18.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":44424505557177,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/6888\/0181\/files\/Ethylvanillincorrected_b628b1a5-61a4-4602-a4bd-60cf4d465c41.png?v=1728578020"},{"product_id":"vanillin","title":"Vanillin","description":"One of the first synthetics used in perfumery, it's still one of the most important and widely used raw materials to this day. It's what most people know is the smell of vanilla since it's also used widely in the flavourings industry (real vanilla is far less sweet and more woody then most people realise). A touch of vanillin goes a long way towards adding a long lasting sweetness to your perfume compositions. Larger amounts contribute to an overt vanilla note, but be careful since too much can make your perfumes sickeningly sweet and synthetic smelling.","brand":"The Fragrance Foundry","offers":[{"title":"10g","offer_id":43456542474425,"sku":"SKU-106","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25g","offer_id":54276071522689,"sku":null,"price":11.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":54276071555457,"sku":null,"price":13.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75g","offer_id":54276071588225,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":44424506867897,"sku":null,"price":16.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/6888\/0181\/files\/Vanillincorrected.png?v=1701604452"},{"product_id":"patchouli-coeur-albert-vieille","title":"Patchouli Oil Coeur - Albert Vieille","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are many different patchouli products out there, but this Patchouli \"Heart\" fraction from Albert Vieille is a clear winner.
